RAF Akrotiri Virtual Tour

What a fantastic photo, i lived up there 81-82 Hampshire Terrace

We were near end of Barnet road 72/73, happy times ! David, Christine, Phil and Dawn

What a great guy Phivos was, always smiling and great to work with in RAF Akrotiri. What a shame Sylvanas no longer exists as a restaurant.Hopefully this guy is still around somewhere.

I served in the Arotiri mole project team Royal Engineers 1971 -72-73 we took over the officers yacht club and built the mole. Me and my mate Wally Telfer did all the drilling and blasted every rock that went into the mole. I?m looking at it and wondering where the last fifty years has gone.

Hi, We were there 1966-9. Then, Buttons Bay was known as 'Bumbles Bay' and Horsley Lane was Horsley Road. Mind you, that was last century and a different monarch, so I may be mistaken. However, it was a great 3 year honeymoon!

My dad Bill Grisdale was a chief tech in the RAF, we were in Cyprus (1970 - 74) welived in Limassol first then moved onto camp - Akrotiri. David, Linda and Kevin would have gone to st johns, I was at primary then Berengaria,we lived on Princess street, every weekend if dad was not working we would be at the beach (any beach) sometimes camping all weekend, Ladies mile, Buttons bay, Famagusta. Kevin played football at Happy vaiiey. I can remember Mrs Adel at primary school, swimming lessons in the sea near the sailing club, the massive scalextric at the youth club on camp I remember it was a 4 lane sit down race, going to school watching silver Lightning fighters going vertical.Ted next door to us had a VW white camper, when dad was working he would take us to the beach with sliding door wedged open (no health & safety then thank god, mum and dad were always at the sgt's mess, while my brothers and sister were causing havoc, I also remember a few visits by the military police to which my dad was not best pleased. but all in all what an amazing time, we've now travelled the world but I've never been back,I would like to remember those magical days as they were now that I'm the only one left to remember those memories.
